Turnvereins, which literally translate as “gymnastics clubs," or “unions,” dedicated themselves to physical health through athletics and gymnastics. The Roxborough Turners arose from the merger of Turnverein s in two adjacent neighborhoods—Roxborough and Manayunk—and originally took the name Germania Turn-Verein of Roxborough und Manayunk, changing to the current name in 1954. The organization was a social and athletic club with their own hall, containing a bar, library, gymnastics and athletic programs for both adults and children, and entertainment and meeting space for rent or members’ use. As of November 2004, the organization is still active, and is located at 418 Leverington Avenue in Philadelphia.

Considered to be the “spiritual capital” with which India hoped to garner material and financial support from the West, yoga was originally presented by its Eastern disseminators as “an antidote to the stresses of modern, urban, industrial life” and “a way to reconnect with the spiritual world” without having to compromise the “productive capitalist base upon which Americans [stake] their futures.”1 Though exact practitioner statistics are hard to come by, it is clear that the popularity of yoga in the U.S.

  • Report on Modern Yoga Workshop 2006
    Report on Modern Yoga Workshop Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge 21-23 April 2006 By Benjamin Smith (Australian National University, Canberra) Following a global explosion in the popularity of yoga, scholars have recently undertaken a number of studies on this topic. The fruits of these studies include recent anthropological monographs by Alter (2004) on modern yoga in India, and Strauss (2004) on yoga’s ‘transnationalism’, focusing on ‘Western’ practitioners in Germany, America and India. De Michelis (2004) has also published an anthropologically-informed study of the development of ‘modern postural yoga’. These monographs now look set to be the first in a series of new studies of contemporary yoga practice. In April 2006 a number of yoga scholars – many currently undertaking doctoral research - gathered for an inter- disciplinary conference on modern yoga convened by Elizabeth De Michelis, Suzanne Newcombe and Mark Singleton. The workshop was collegial in character, as one would hope of a relatively new and rapidly developing field of study closely informed by, but distinct from, the well-established field of classical yoga scholarship. This collegiality was fostered by the convenors’ decision to have participants summarize and comment on other participants’ papers rather than present their own work, following the earlier electronic circulation of papers. Participants at the Modern Yoga Workshop After the previous night’s informal gathering of participants, the conference began with Elizabeth De Michelis’ notes on the relationship between what she has labelled ‘modern postural yoga’ and the medieval Indian hatha yoga tradition. De Michelis noted the emphasis both on embodied practice and 1 transcendence in the hatha yoga tradition (a distinction also made in Sarbacker’s (2005) recent work on numinous power and cessative teleology in yoga).
